TV-MASynopsis
Catastrophe (2015), Season 1 — watch all six episodes online on iFILM. Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan wrote the series together and star as two strangers who spend a week together in London, then discover that has consequences.
Rob is American and Boston-based. Sharon is Irish and lives in London. One week, one pregnancy test, one phone call — he books a one-way ticket. Season 1 covers the months that follow: moving in together, her brother Fergal making every conversation harder, a secret friendship that blows up at the worst possible moment, health scares, parents arriving from Cork with low expectations, a wedding being planned while Rob gets fired over Skype, and stag and hen nights that spiral well past any sensible hour. Each half-hour episode is tight and the dialogue moves faster than most comedies dare.
Horgan and Delaney as a screen couple carry the whole thing. Catastrophe Season 1 is one of the sharpest British comedy debuts of the 2010s — stream it on iFILM.
